Congratulations to Adrian for this well deserved award!

Congratulations to Lisa Wagar for winning the The National Centre for the 3Rs International 3Rs prize for her tonsil organoid model. Looking forward to the prize event where Lisa and other winners, Alex Frangi and Ali Sarrami-Fouroushani share their work. nc3rs.org.uk/events/3rs-pri…

An interesting one for organ-chip researchers. The Animal Free Research Conference has a call for abstracts: AnimalFreeResearchUK animalfreeresearchuk.org/conference/

Nice organ-chip CRACKIT challenge to explore in this year's CRACK IT Challenges

📢Call for participants: RSPCA's Replacement Research Project! 🐁Are you a biosciences student or an ASPA-regulated animal researcher? Contribute to our study on social and cultural factors affecting non-animal methods in research 📩Get in touch at [email protected]

Great start to the ⁦QMUL Centre for Predictive in vitro Models (CPM)⁩ ⁦Organ-on-a-Chip Technologies Network⁩ annual symposium ⁦Blizard Institute⁩. Fantastic turnout and really good discussion of organ-on-a-chip models.

We had a brilliant afternoon last Wednesday for the annual QMUL Centre for Predictive in vitro Models (CPM) Organ-on-a-Chip Technologies Network symposium. Approx 170 organ-on-a-chip researchers from across the UK descended on Blizard Institute (some of them online, or we would have needed a bigger auditorium!). cpm.qmul.ac.uk/events/4632/qm…

Great to see organ-chip technology in the new UKRI Emerging Technology report. This comments how organ-chips could 'revolutionise clinical trial design and deliver a new wave of treatments and interventions, improving global health outcomes' ukri.org/wp-content/upl… Organ-on-a-Chip Technologies Network

Podcast covering cancer research, animal replacement, technological and medical advances, and my personal motivations for pursuing a career in these areas Blizard Institute Barts and The London, Queen Mary. Thank you Carla Owen AnimalFreeResearchUK for the invitation! #animalfreelabcast #kinderscience

Are you an in vivo researcher able to help the RSPCA - Animals in Science with this project?? Get in touch with them directly to find out more and contribute.

Wondering if organ-on-a-chip technology can help you with research 🔬 or drug discovery?💊 Check out my overview for Technology Networks of the key advantages and latest advances in the field, and feel free to sign up to the Organ-on-a-Chip Technologies Network Network and QMUL Centre for Predictive in vitro Models (CPM) technologynetworks.com/cell-science/a…

Call for participants: We are looking for researchers to test new reporting standards to improve the reliability and reproducibility of published in vitro studies: nc3rs.org.uk/our-portfolio/…

This is a great project to explore reporting standards for in vitro work. If you’re preparing a manuscript please consider getting involved

📢Calling those with a BioMedEng Membership📢 We have an exciting opportunity to get involved with: ✨The BioMedEng ECR Mentorship Scheme✨ Would you like to be a: 👉Mentor? 👉Mentee? 📨Contact [email protected] for the opportunity to participate in this scheme!

We’re pleased to announce 65 Centres for Doctoral Training, supported with a £1 billion investment, that will equip the next generation of researchers to tackle key challenges such as AI, healthcare and quantum technologies: orlo.uk/B445s #EPSRC_CDTs

Super excited to announce that we will be running a major training centre in organ-chip for 60 plus PhD students, after receiving over £7M if funding from @EPSRCCDT.

🏆Exciting news! The #BioMedEng24 Conference is offering prestigious awards sponsored by British Heart Foundation RSPCA (England & Wales), AnimalFreeResearchUK and BioMedEng Association. 🗓Abstract Deadline: Sunday, 28th April 2024   biomedeng.org/biomedeng24/ Queen Mary University of London QMUL School of Engineering and Materials Science

Some interesting organ-chip talks planned for this conference
